Action Items

January 1
FCA

ØThe January 2019 TVA FCA
is projected to decrease to 1.849 cents per kWh. Since the meeting is a week
early, final TVA figures on the FCA are not yet available.

ØOn January 1, the
energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this anticipated decrease
to the wholesale cost of energy.

Bi-Annual
Write Offs Report and Recommendation

ØList of accounts proposed to be written-off is provided as an attachment.

ØSuperintendent will review the list of accounts with board and make a
recommendation.

Software/Hardware
Support Agreement with Elster/Honeywell

ØAnother example of our fixed costs increasing comes
from the vendor for our metering technology, Elster, which was acquired by
Honeywell.

ØAnnual support was previously about $17,000 per
year. Since the acquisition by Honeywell, the new cost proposed is over $22,500
per year, which requires Board action.

Cable
Television Programming Committee Appointments

ØThe Programming Committee acts independently of EPB
to consider what programming is appropriate for the EPB Cable Television system.
The committee makes these determinations and recommends same to the EPB.

ØThe committee was purposely created to isolate EPB
from any potential violation relative to the First Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution.

ØThe committee consists of six members, with
staggered terms, in addition to the Superintendent, who acts as Chairperson and
liaison between the committee and EPB.

ØThe terms of Mary
Genice Burchett-Bower and Karl Napier expire at the end of this year. Ms.
Burchett-Bower has served two terms and Mr. Napier has served one term.

ØAction on this item
is not essential this month, but should be done in January, 2019.

ØThis year, the delta
between EPB Hourly pay rates and the average of the peer group was found to be
4.6%.

ØSuperintendent will
recommend a 4.1% adjustment to hourly position pay rates for 2019, along with
corresponding adjustments to the midpoints of the six EPB merit pay grades.

ØNationwide CPI change
over the 12 months ending in October, as reported by Bureau of Labor
Statistics, is 2.5%.

ØSuperintendent will
recommend budgets for hourly, merit, apprentice, and retirement/replacements
for 2019.

Performance
Review of Superintendent

ØA performance review of the Superintendent is
customarily performed during the December meeting.

ØCPD Charge Reserve Fund
Status

-kW
demand markup was implemented last year to cover TVA wholesale cost for missed
peak predictions

-Updated calculations will be presented at the meeting if available. The
fund is in excellent shape due to recent accuracy of peak predictions, but the
reporting format is being overhauled.

ØEnd of Year Internet
Upgrade Plans

-EPB has historically recognized the value of its internet access products
and the customers who use the product, by performing the necessary work to
upgrade speed offerings each year.

-The authorization by the board has allowed us to procure the necessary hardware
and software upgrades to upgrade speeds again this year, and those upgrades
have been successfully installed, with little interruption to customer services.

-Our team is completing the testing of speeds in recently upgraded
neighborhoods, where growth of customers had outpaced our predictions. As soon
as this testing is completed, an announcement will be made on the precise speed
upgrades to be implemented.

E.P.B. Electric Customers on the Variable Price Rate- We predict the POSSIBILITY for December's peak electric demand to occur on Tuesday, December 11th between 7am - 1pm. This is only a prediction based upon our best guess as to what the combination of all customers in Glasgow will demand from T.V.A. This is our forecast which is provided as a convenience for E.P.B. customers who wish to receive forecasts. You will be billed for your contribution to the peak hour which falls within one of our predicted periods only. If you want to move to a fixed energy rate without coincident peak demand charges, please contact us at 270-651-8341.

TVA approval came too
late for us to satisfy the reporting requirements of KRS 65A, so we are now
providing the written information to City of Glasgow and will deliver the report
in person on November 26. That means we cannot actually implement the rate
changes until January 1, 2019.

Copies of the actual
tariff sheets, approved and produced by TVA, are attached for your
consideration. I will ask you to approve same at the
meeting.

Large Outage
Report

- On November 20, at
8:30 am, one of our crews was attempting to make repairs to a pole and down-guy
damaged by a hit and run driver, several days earlier. The crew had, thankfully,
donned rubber gloves and asked our dispatch center to place the circuit in
non-reclose.

-Immediately upon
beginning the work, unforeseen damage to an insulator caused the circuit to arc
to ground, which, in turn, tripped the circuit and the back-up breaker feeding
all circuits at Industrial Drive Substation, affecting about 2,000 customers.
Most of the customers were restored to normal in 20 minutes. About 620 customers
were off another 35 minutes as the original problem was repaired.

-We were very lucky to
make it through this event without any injuries to our team.
